A Jackson-Madison County Schools bus was involved in a multi-vehicle collision about 7:15 a.m. Monday at the corner of North Highland Avenue and Old Hickory Boulevard.

The bus was in the early stages of its route, taking students to Andrew Jackson Middle School, according to a statement from the Jackson-Madison County School System.

Two students were on board at the time of the collision, but no one on board was injured. Two other cars were involved in the incident, and minor injuries were reported in one of the cars, according to Jackson Police Department Capt. Jeff Shepard.

Parents were notified as soon as JMCSS Director of Transportation Bryan Chandler arrived on the scene.

The accident caused some delays, but multiple buses helped out where they needed to.

“Any deviation from the morning schedule for a driver causes a ripple effect,” according to the JMCSS statement. “This morning, five or six additional routes were impacted because they helped complete the affected driver’s pick-ups to minimize delays.

“An additional driver also had to be rerouted to the scene to pick up the students who were on the damaged bus," the statement read.

Chandler discussed the amount of work bus drivers do on a daily basis with the School Board this past weekend during its annual retreat when discussing one bell time for the entire district.
